JOWAI: The famous Lukha river in Jaintia Hills has turned blue again on Friday and thousands of dead fishes were found floating on the water surface all along the river right from Sakhri till Borsora village,

The residents of Pind Dadan Khan and the adjoining areas have no other option but to consume highly contaminated rain water which gets accumulated in the dirty ponds.
The only water sources for the people of the area have been polluted by the human wastes that drain into the ponds during rains as these ponds lie in the proximity of the thickly populated areas.
